According to Professor Sara Hirschhorn, Americans comprise about 15 percent of the settlement population. Americans have founded a number of settlements, including Efrat and Tekoa. Originally, Americans who settled in the West Bank were liberal Jews who thought they were trailblazing pioneers like the Jews who came to Palestine in the early 20th century. Later, Americans moving to the area were predominantly Orthodox Jews.

Also from JVL:

The term “Settlements” usually refers to the towns and villages that Jews have established in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and the Gaza Strip since Israel captured the area in the Six-Day War of 1967. In many cases, the settlements are in the same area which flourishing Jewish communities have lived for thousands of years.

More on settlements:


Legalities
Another charge is that settlements are “illegal.” The United States has never adopted this position and legal scholars have noted that a country acting in self-defense may seize and occupy territory when necessary to protect itself. Moreover, the occupying power may require, as a condition for its withdrawal, security measures designed to ensure its citizens are not menaced again from that territory.

According to Eugene Rostow, a former Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs in the Johnson Administration, Resolution 242gives Israel a legal right to be in the West Bank. The resolution “allows Israel to administer the territories” it won in 1967 “until ‘a just and lasting peace in the Middle East’ is achieved,” Rostow wrote in The New Republic (10/21/91). During the debate on the resolution, he added, “speaker after speaker made it clear that Israel was not to be forced back to the ‘fragile’ and ‘vulnerable’ [1949] Armistice Demarcation Lines.”

So I wasn't here for quiet some time, during which many interesting things happened in Israel.
Look for the links on Your own, I'll just sum up th story, maybe later will bring the links...

One of the stories has to do with the city of Haifa:
Those who followed may remember, we had municipal elections a month a go.
Haifa is one of Israel's key cities, a port city and a cultural center with a significant Arab population.
Under the last mayor, who was obsessed with affirmative action - Hamas flags were found in Haifa university lockers, Arabs were allowed to organize demonstrations shouting genocidal slogans, Jewish Orthodox community was abandoned, ethnic tension rose, vandalism of Jewish houses became a norm (as a tactic for lowering the prices of certain apartment buildings) pollution not treated, a city that was the first high-tech capital of Israel became a total mess.

In reality he left the city with a program of 1937, failing every task put before him during his 2 terms.

Enters the new mayor, a candidate who was initially supported by the orthodox community, and as she enters office, her vice opens his mouth in support of Hezballah and Hamas. When people demanded he withdrew it and apologize - he refuses. Things go viral, Knesset members and even the PM protest. The mayor stands by her vice claiming she signed an agreement she can't break and it goes back and forth for several weeks.

So what happens next? I receive a message on Whatsapp "Tomorrow in such and such time and place - TAKE YOUR CARS AND BLOCK THE ROADS!"

The next day he pronounced his resignation...

Oh yes and by the way - Israel is going into parliamentary elections March 2019.

Rains of Blessing - watch the full flow of the rivers of Israel
This is how it looks in streams throughout our beautiful country: full and strong flow following the rains in recent days.

The rain is expected to fall in the coming days as well. During the Sabbath the rain is expected to weaken and diminish but on Sunday it will return strongly, together with snow that is expected to descend on Mount Hermon.

Record exports from Israel: more than $ 110 billion in 2018
A jump of 8% compared with 2017 • Exports to Asia jumped, but its share in the US declined • Export Institute CEO: "World trade war will challenge us significantly in 2019"

"The government's goal was to cross the $ 120 billion mark in 2020, but by 2018 the Israeli economy had broken a new record and amounted to more than $ 110 billion," Eli Cohen, the minister of economy and industry, told Israel Today.

After rising by 8% in 2017 and amounting to $ 103 billion, Israel's exports are expected to grow by an additional 8%, to a total of more than $ 110 billion in the past year. This emerges from a preliminary summary of total export data for 2018 conducted by the Export Institute and the Ministry of Economics and Industry. This is a rate of growth significantly higher than the rate of growth in world trade, which is expected to stand at 4.2% in 2018.
